To start the ASAPX Conversational Interface (CI):
•
Type ASAPX at a TACL prompt.
The ASAPX CI is designed to support the application-specific portions of the ASAP
Extension that do not logically fit within the ASAP management framework CI.
At startup, ASAPX automatically reads the ASAP configuration file (ASAPCONF) and
the ASAP Extension configuration file (ASAPXCNF) to define the ASAP Extension
environment.
You can configure ASAPX by editing the ASAPXCNF file to set the definitions for your
environment. These options can be defined within the ASAPXCNF file:
